True, affirmative action is a cancer at this point
I like how my phone tried to auto fill "affirmative action is great"
Oh google
You and your agendas
I've seen similar attitudes in the US regarding physicians and pharmacists
How is this much different than the rigging of results against asians in the US?
It's not. That's my point. Artificially choosing winners on criteria having nothing to do with ability is not unique to the US.
It had a purpose when we were creating a level playing field, I suppose. But the playing field is leveling out. I need to make sure anyone can win based on objective criteria and then get our thumbs off the scale.
One of the best explinations of what is wrong with the US comes from Charles Barkley of all people.
Charles Barkley is actually quite wise. I've been impressed many times with his insight.
fuck barkley
There are only five real jobs, Soldiers, Teachers, Doctors, Firemen and police, if you aren't one of those you aren't that important... or something like that
and fuck diversity
Engineers?
Engineers are pretty important these days
The fact that as a sports star he flat out wrote off his carreer as not important speaks volume about his integrety and humility
Billions would not be able to go on living without them
how many fuck heads think because they have a championship ring they are gods among peasants?
nobody thought that tho
only when it comes to gettin puss
They just act like it because they make way more money
And Barkley admits he is just an entertainer
so wat
youtubers are entertainers too
but if they didn't exist, engineers at YT would be out of a job
its an interdependent ecosystem
think about movies
so much tech and engineering involved in that
and yet its just 'entertainment'
because guess what, even the most analytical mind has to make things for humans
or not make money at all
And where would we be without the soldiers/sailors, doctors, firemen, police and teachers?
who are they serving, common people again
just like engineers and entertainers
If my father's car travels an average of 30 miles per hour and the gas station is 2.5 miles away, why has it taken him six years to go and get cigarettes
He got kidnapped by ninjas
